Job description

• We started by building infrastructure to run CI workloads really fast. Our first product helps companies run GitHub Actions substantially faster and cheaper by owning and operating our own global fleet of bare-metal machines rather than renting generic cloud VMs.




• Today, we orchestrate tens of millions of Firecracker VMs each week, running CI for 7,000+ companies and tens of millions in ARR. We’ve grown 20x in the past 12 months.




• We operate thousands of bare-metal machines across multiple regions, regularly schedule 100k+ vCPUs concurrently, and run a petabyte-scale Ceph cluster that we manage ourselves.




• We’ve raised $58.5M from Seed to Series B, led by Google Ventures (GV) & Peak XV Partners, and we’re intentionally building a small, but exceptional team.




• Blacksmith was founded by a team with deep systems and scaling experience, including building search/ads infrastructure at Faire, and operating large distributed systems at Cockroach Labs. Our GTM is led by Jon Boyer, formerly Head of Sales at Zapier.




• We're now extending the same CI infrastructure into a broader platform: running agent sandboxes at scale and building our own background coding agent on top of it.

• Own the workplace experience. We want the office to be an enjoyable place to be; the latest technology, high end design touches, fully stocked kitchen, catered lunches. You’ll own this end-to-end.




• Coordinate internal team events, lunches, dinners. And help with coordinating and managing the external customer and network events we’re hosting in the office.




• Employee experience; work anniversaries, birthdays, special events. We want people at Blacksmith to feel recognized and you’ll play a key role in delivering this experience.
